2016-17 American League Non-Tenders

By Steve Adams | December 2, 2016 at 7:12pm CDT

The deadline to tender 2017 contracts to players is tonight at 8pm ET. We’ll keep track of the day’s non-tenders in the American League in this post (all referenced arbitration projections courtesy of MLBTR contributor Matt Swartz)…

  • Infielder Gregorio Petit and lefty Cody Ege were non-tendered by the Angels, per a club announcement.
  • The Twins non-tendered pre-arb righty Yorman Landa, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press tweets.
  • The Rays non-tendered infielder Ryan Brett, who wasn’t eligible for arbitration, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times tweets.
  • The Yankees have non-tendered southpaw Jacob Lindgren, the club announced. His departure leaves the team with one open 40-man roster spot. The high-powered lefty has dealt with elbow issues in recent years.
  • Righty Blake Smith will head to the open market after he wasn’t tendered by the White Sox. The 28-year-old debuted briefly in the majors last year, but spent most of the year at Triple-A. He showed well there, compiling a 3.53 ERA with 9.5 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 over 71 1/3 innings. Smith compiled those frames in just 39 appearances, suggesting that Chicago liked the idea of utilizing him in a multi-inning role — which other organizations may consider, too.
  • The Rangers announced that outfielder Jared Hoying will be non-tendered, making him a free agent. The 27-year-old made his major league debut last year, struggling through 49 plate appearances. He did have a solid run at Triple-A, though, slashing .269/.336/.474 with 78 strikeouts against 37 walks over 435 trips to the plate.
  • The Indians have non-tendered righty Jeff Manship, MLB.com’s Jordan Bastian tweets. The club’s remaining arb-eligible players will all be offered contracts. Manship projected at $1.2MM, but even that relatively minimal amount proved too great for Cleveland to take on. While the 31-year-old didn’t have sterling peripherals, he was solid last year for the Indians and posted a magical run for the team in 2015. All told, he contributed 82 2/3 innings of 2.07 ERA ball during his time in Cleveland, which ought to set him up for an opportunity with another organization.
  • Righty Vance Worley has been non-tendered by the Orioles, per a team announcement. All of the team’s other eligible players have been tendered contracts. Worley had been projected to command $3.3MM in arbitration as a 4+ service-class player, but will instead hit the open market. The 29-year-old pitched to a 3.53 ERA in 86 2/3 innings last year with Baltimore, functioning mostly in a relief capacity. He has plenty of experience as a starter, however, and remains a possible swingman (or back-of-the-rotation) option for other organizations. Over his seven major league campaigns, Worley has posted a 3.75 ERA with 6.8 K/9 and 3.6 BB/9.
  • The Red Sox announced that they won’t tender a contract to veteran catcher Bryan Holaday.  The 29-year-old batted .231/.281/.359 with a pair of homers and seven doubles in 129 PAs between Texas and Boston this past season. The right-handed-hitting Holaday will bring a career .628 OPS and 28 percent caught-stealing rate to the free agent market as he looks to latch on elsewhere, presumably in a backup capacity. He’d been projected to earn $900K in arbitration this winter and comes with three years of team control to any club that signs him. Boston tendered contracts to all of its remaining arb-eligible players, tweets the Boston Globe’s Alex Speier. Boston’s 40-man roster is at 39 players.

    Yankees could take a chance on Worley. Has experience in the AL East and could be a decent 4th or 5th starter

    I liked the Vanimal a lot, I though he should have been starting over Locke in 2015. We have a number of 4/5 starter internal options but I wouldn’t mind seeing him as our 5. Tough competitor and by all accounts a good teammate. And he can go on long stretches of being quite good.

      Actually, Vanimal has a tendency to speak his mind. He did it in Philly, Pgh and Balt. I am not sure about Minn, but I live near Phil and Balt and am a Pirate fan. He has burnt some bridges along the way.

        The only thing I remember is he took a shot at the MN coaches for not fixing a flaw in his delivery that apparently the Pirates found right away.

    I thought Abad was good watching him pitch for the Twins, he just fell apart.

      All former Twins. Worley and Manship were awful here.

      At that price I was surprised too, he’s definitely worth that price.

        I was more surprised they weren’t able to trade him. Indians have some good upcoming pen arms and have a 40-man crunch so it made some sense to move on from him. Plus his WHIP last year wasn’t all that great.

    Holaday can give a team depth with his pitching skills. He had closer-type stats in 2016.

      Bryan Holaday is a catcher not reliever.

        It was a joke. Holaday pitched a scoreless inning of relief against the Twins in a blowout game last summer.

    Hate the Orioles got rid of Worley over a few million. A 3.5 era in the AL East is decent and 86 IP pretty decent sample size. I bet he gets picked up quick

    I feel like in Worley and Manship, the Mariners could have gotten these players for free in what they hope to get out of prospects Whalen and Povse in the trade of Alex Jackson. It’s not to say Jackson is a great prospect, but if the Mariners want pitching depth they could have sought help in the non-tender list. Neither Whalen or Povse offer high ceiling.

    Andrew Romine should’ve been non-tendered by the Tigers

    Vance Worley looks like a good fit in San Diego.

      Worley definitely looks like a Padres pitcher. Manship too, if he can still start. I know the stuff is underwhelming but he looks like a fifth starter to me.
